Going 150 going home at 3am is fun, then you find this in your engine bay.



If you are wondering what the hell this is, its part of my drive belt.

Here is what it looks like:


The first piece that caught my attention, which I found around my coolant hose.


Look I found more! It wrapped around my fan clutch as well.


Sweet...


Oh, this is sooo sexy.


Hooray!


Useless video. (I dropped the F bomb quite a few times)

So... you'd rather it have completely broken or something? I figure you were lucky as he!!.

DryBlaze

No, I was just showing what happened. I'm extremely lucky. If the drive belt snapped on the highway my car would overheat and die out and there goes a crazy after hours towing bill.

not cool, but next time you plan on going over 100 make sure your car wont fall apart doing it

Had no idea my drive belt wasn't changed but now it will be.
I thought it was changed when the previous owner changed the timing belt.. but I guess not.
I wish I had AAA.
Yes, It could have been much worse.
Yeah, after I saw the vid again I thought it was hilarious and I was like damn I dropped the F bomb alot haha.
Will do.

I've been to 150 in my SC4 as well. It's an adrenaline rush for certain. My belts never shredded like that thankfully. At least now I know More than a tire can shred at those speeds.

I'm dying to take it out on a Club Race someday soon. I would like to get it's exhaust done up and a shift kit first.

Damn that was a close one bro. Good thing you caught it when you did. Can't imagine it being too fun hearing that snap at 100+.

DryBlaze

Very close. Yeah I tend to check the engine bay after hard pulls and my oil all the time.

It suck to have it snap of slip off. I've witnessed it in my cousin's turbo supra when he did a pull. The engine temp goes flying, power steering is gone, the car just runs like ****, and it just sucks.
